Delhi CM Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and Gopal Rai, had launched the sit-in protest on 11 June at Baijal's office-cum-residence, alleging that IAS officers had gone on a strike to scuttle the AAP-led Government's work.
They refused to call off the protest until the L-G directed the bureaucrats to end their strike and cooperate with the AAP Government.

"I wish to assure them (IAS officers) that I will ensure their safety and security with all my powers and resources available at my command. I have given similar assurances earlier also. I reiterate it," Kejriwal said earlier.
